Suspect charged in shooting death at north Houston motel

A suspect already jailed on unrelated charges has been accused in the shooting death of a man at a motel in north Houston earlier this year.

John Gregory Gammon, 46, is charged with murder in the death of 40-year-old Jason Windham at Americas Best Value Inn and Suites at 702 North Sam Houston Parkway East about 2 a.m. June 4.

Police said Gammon was being held in the Harris County Jail on unrelated charges when he was accused Thursday in Windham’s death.

Windham and his girlfriend were staying at the motel when someone knocked on the door to their room, police said. When Windham opened the door, several men forced their way inside. Windham struggled against them and then he was shot. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
